  • One of the most popular celebrations of multiculturalism in Australia, the annual National Multicultural Festival is a three-day event promoting the diversity of culture in Canberra and across the country. The festival showcases the cultures and traditions of over 170 immigrant communities from around Australia.

    Beginning as a one-day event as part of Australia Day celebrations in 1981, the National Multicultural Festival has since expanded into an even larger and vibrant celebration of Australia’s cultural diversity. With an ever-growing community of peoples and families with international links, the festival has become one of the most successful multicultural festivals in the country.

    The National Multicultural Festival features a wide selection of cultural activities and events including Latin carnival, folk dancing and Lunar New Year celebrations. There is also a wide range of food stalls offering delicacies and treats from all over the world.
